Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTahoe Schrader is a software engineer specializing in control and simulation software for complex physical systems, with nine years of experience spanning quantum computers, radar, electro-optical guidance, mission planning, and meter-class telescope optics. Currently at QuEra Computing in Tokyo, Tahoe focuses on quantum controls—bringing a physics-first approach from a University of Chicago honors degree in physics to practical software and hardware requirements. Prior roles at RTX and MORSE involved building high-fidelity radar and EO simulations and analysis tools that translate system behavior into verifiable requirements. Tahoe is comfortable bridging optics, embedded-like control software, and algorithmic simulation, often producing tooling that speeds validation and reduces ambiguity between engineers and stakeholders. Colleagues rely on Tahoe for rigorous modeling of hardware-software interfaces and for turning nuanced physical constraints into testable software specifications. A less obvious strength is deep domain fluency across both astronomical optics and defense sensing systems, enabling cross-pollination of techniques between scientific and applied engineering projects.
